Last week at work I went through a training class about foot measurements and sizing. It's actually much more intense than I thought. Did you know your foot has a waist? Anyway, as part of the training, they measured our feet. She asked me what size I usually buy-size 10. She continued measuring my feet and made different notes on her piece of paper. It's a little nerve-wracking getting evaluated like that. In the end, she concluded that I am not a size 10. What?! I've been buying size 10 for a long time now. I don't even try on other sizes. I just know that's what I wear. Truth is, I'm a 9.5 wide. Great, now I have a fat foot complex. I left that class feeling like I've been living a lie.
Later that day, things only got worse. At the end of the day, I saw some of our management huddling together like they were plotting something. I asked my buyer if she knew what was going on. Her response-"How long have you been here?" This can't be good...so we duck into an office and she explains to me that I'm moving teams. I've been here four short weeks and they are already changing my area. In all honesty, I'm not excited about this change. I was really liking my team and was really starting to love my product. There's really nothing I can do about it so I guess I just need to go in there with a good attitude on Monday. Oh, and this team likes to get to the office early. Fantastic. You know how much I love mornings-the earlier the better.
On Saturday, I did something I thought I would never do. Something that I thought I would at least save until I found a guy that I loved, that I saw myself spending the rest of my life with. Unfortunately, I caved to the peer pressure and... I watched Star Wars. I told myself if I was going to watch it, I might as well watch it with the man of my dreams so as to numb some of the pain. After watching, I have come to the conclusion that it was only cool because it was the coolest movie up to that point in cinematography. It's okay to move on now, world.
Anyway that is my life now. Still no Kansas adventures. Please come visit.

Wow, now I feel like we (or I guess it would be I) violated you by making you watch the movie. I didn't realize it meant that much to you. What didn't you say something??? If you had just shared how much it meant, we could have held back from watching it until you were ready.
Well, hopefully getting there early will let you go home early - that's always nice.
Oh, my dear sister.
it makes me frown that they're jumbling you up so soon. i'm so sorry.
also, i miss you. i wish i could come visit.
